You should be able to have it mount by putting in fstab:

/dev/hdb1    /path/to/mountpoint <filesystem>    defaults    0    0

the old school way

Obviously, it needs to be the right /dev path. And this assumes that the 
filesystems are always the same. (you have to replace <filesystem> with 
ext4/vfat/ntfs/whatever)
